Cargo Bike, photo by Brian Yap. |
Could it be that cargo bikes, who were ever so present in the past in most big cities, make a come back? This article in Lowtechmagazine seems to say yes . I would agree since a cargo bike is much more agile in inner city traffic than a van or truck and many cities are seeing them operate right now.
Great article and good read: http://www.lowtechmagazine.com/2012/09/jobs-of-the-future-cargo-cyclist.html#more
Ride safe and free.

I read that this morning- it IS a good article. It would be really great to see more of this but it will probably take small entrepreneurial businesses to lead the way here in North America. I can just hear the Fed Ex lawyers saying the liability issues of having delivery men on bicycles are to great to permit it to come to be.
I hear ya! However, I did see a picture of a power assisted cargo trike with UPS colors I'm guessing in London. There is hope.

It was 2 am and we came across a bike share station and looked at the prices. $9 for 24 hours sounded like a huge bargain! We rented the bikes and rode home. electric bikes nz
Look so cool but I wonder how to ride it...
